2. Everythings Great
"17 of 18 provinces can support elections"

Is it the 1 province that has 95 percent of the population? I guess Iraq looks kind of like *'s county map.

6. The general just said
the insurgents who attacked the mess tent in Mosul are the same insurgents who attacked on 911. Gotta turn it off now. SO TIRED of being treated like a fool.

3. Another attempt to shore up Rummy
But it is very odd that the only politician or DCer to speak out about Mosul has been Bushie. Its been three days.

13. it's the only card they hav..9/11! as a Ny er, i am sooo offended by this
i'm starting to think it's alot more important than the values bullshit.
this is the excuse for everything horrible we do.. 9/11! it just shuts people up. especially the people who have no reason to think they'll be attacked ever- they don't seem to care what the hell is really going on.

10. See, they were right! They knew it would get worse
question: Aren't the insurgents getting stronger? Answer from Rummy: Uneven progress. Myers...we have said this would get worse as we approach the elections, and by the way after the elections won't be a panacea either. That is exactly what happened

Who predicted this shit? All this admin needs to do is say something like "the economy will get worse before it gets better", and the effing media, when the economy goes in the shitter says "they warned us it would get worse, how insightful"

Got to turn the TV off now.

12. "If they can do what they're doing, I can do what I'm doing."
Says Rummy concerning the question of if he can do his job. What the Hell does that slogan mean?

16. it's the f*ing wild west mentality...... rules are for pussies!
geneva what? isn't that some UN bullshit that prevents us from kickin ass?

14. The "effing" arrogance makes me sick!
Reporter: "Does the latest criticism of you affect your ability to serve?" or something like that.

Rumsfailed" "if the troops can still get up every day and do what they're doing, so can I."

are you kidding me? That's the ticket you sick f&*k. Everything from Presidentin', to Secretaryin' of Defensein' is HARD WERK!

Thank you! You "mother f&*king Christians!"

18. Is Rummy being kept around...
...by a "stop-loss" order too? Because Bushtistas decision to go to war based on lies, and their subsequent refusal to admit mistakes, and the back door draft, are what's keeping them over there getting up every day to get shot at, while the largest bullet Rummy has to dodge is a few harsh words. Gawd, is being a spineless arrogant criminal ass a prerequisite for working in this White House?

21. Being Secretary of State Rummy is hard work, just like serving in Iraq.
Just like being President Bush is such hard work.

15. This worse than a scene from a banana republic
of the third world. I can't watch these lying asshole any longer. There is no intelligence present and the cowed media dances to their tune.

19. And the rest of the world

22. Myers said it was now unwinnable militarily !!!
I swear Myers actually said "unwinnable militarily".

Absolutely no followup by the press, but then everyone here is so distracted by his 911 comments that I may have been the only one hearing it. Transcript ANYWHERE?

There was a point in it where Myers said it was not winnable militarily. Honest I know he said it. Anybody can find a transcript of his comments in the press conference?????
